The Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji has officially withdrawn the Sh7.5 billion graft case facing Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

The DPP on Wednesday told Magistrate Wakumile that the decision comes to allow the DCI to fully investigate the matter and submit the file for directions

The anti-corruption court in Nairobi has given prosecutors three weeks to review the Sh7.4 billion corruption charges against Gachagua and nine others.

Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Magistrate Victor Wakumile allowed the DPP to request to postpone the hearing scheduled for Monday and Tuesday so that the prosecutors can review the case before giving directions on whether or not the trial will proceed.

The DPP was granted until November 21 to return to court with directions on the trial.

The DPP told the court that he had received letters from some of the accused persons in the case seeking to have him review the evidence and charges against them.
